Hey Northstar, have you watched this video?:audiophile:


Martha Argerich, Kissin, Levine, Pletnev Bach Concerto For 4 Pianos Bwv 1065 Verbier, July 22 2002

 
I just did now. I was familiar with that Bach concerto and heard it before, from one of my CDs and also a DVD music concert video.

Classical music is now pretty much in top of my main listening attraction, even without being an expert.
The piano is my favorite musical instrument. ...I also love cello.

I love solo music of those two instruments, and also small ensembles from chamber music with only three or four musicians.
Like I said I ain't no expert but I know what I like in my soul to enter. ...And I love when I play.

Penelopie,

I know this was meant for Bob, but I had to take a sneak peak! ;)

This is a wonderful piece! My wife and I both like it! Thanks for sharing that.

Here's one of my favorite Mozart pieces: Sonata for Two Pianos, K448. This Sonata is just so full of pep and happiness, I get energized every time I listen to it!

Again, thanks for sharing the video. I have to find that on CD now!

It makes perfect sense to me now.

She could sing the phone book and make it sound amazing! :)

I guess I don't have to tell you how awesome this album is...

RONNIE EARL & THE BROADCASTERS - Grateful Heart: Blues & Ballads (Bullseye Blues 9565)

albumcoverRonnieEarl-GratefulHeart.jpg


Musicians: Ronnie Earl (guitar), David 'Fathead' Newman (tenor sax), Bruce Katz (piano), Rod Carey (bass), Per Hanson (drums). Composed by Kenny Burrell.
Recorded: Carlisle, MA, June 1995


RATING: 96/100 (learn more)
Ronnie Earl made his name as a member (from 1979 to 1987) of the popular Roomful of Blues, whose emphasis on swinging jump blues enabled him to incorporate some of the sophistication of jazz into his incisive blues guitar style. In the '90s, Earl led a resourceful and versatile all-instrumental quartet, and the group's Grateful Heart CD won the 1996 Downbeat Critics Poll for Best Blues Album, one that Earl dedicated to Rahsaan Roland Kirk, John Coltrane, Duane Allman and David "Fathead" Newman. Not many blues musicians other than Earl were recording versions of tunes such as Monk's "'Round Midnight," Coltrane's "Alabama" and Bobby Timmons's "Moanin'," so it wasn't surprising to find Newman guesting on this session, and Earl electing to do an old Kenny Burrell ballad, "Isabella," which first appeared on Burrell's 1966 LP The Tender Gender.

"Isabella" is one of those typically catchy, deceptively uncomplicated Burrell themes. Earl is tenderly passionate in playing the melody, with Katz's fervent and compatible comping. The pianist's solo is straight jazz, featuring lush chords and sparkling runs. Newman's discourse is blues-inflected tenor at its most majestic, his full-bodied tone and swirling phrases transporting the listener as Katz, Carey, and Hansen offer their sensitive support. Earl is reflective in a solo that contains glowing, pliant strummed passages executed with a pleasingly delicate touch, as well as tastefully apt allusions to "It Ain't Necessarily So," to which "Isabella" bears some similarity. Even the fadeout ending works for once.



I hope at least one person is enjoying my post ( after all this hard work lol )
 
Had my share of shiraz, tonight. Going cycling tomorrow so I don't drink as much as I would like!:D
